Do you believe in good luck charms, or are you more of a make-your-own-luck kind of person?

It's funny how many little things we do to attract good luck. We cross our fingers, make wishes when the clock hits 11:11, look for four-leaf clovers, and sometimes even have a lucky object we refuse to leave the house without on important dates. I don't know if any of these things actually work, I do think there's something nice about believing that good things might be coming our way.

I actually have my own little good luck charm! Whenever I have an exam coming up, I always wear the same bracelet. I know what some of you might be thinking. A piece of jewelry isn't going to magically help me remember everything I've studied. But there's something comforting about having it with me every time I have a test. And if wearing a bracelet makes me feel even slightly more confident walking into an exam, I'm not about to question it!

Following the same line of thought, seeing an adorable puppy should count as a good luck charm. In fact, I'd like to propose we officially add puppies to the list of things that bring good fortune. Because if there's one thing that can improve my mood, it's running into a happy little dog.

Give the gift of kindness this holiday season by donating to our Giving Tuesday fundraiser to help homeless pets and animals in need! It's time to pay your cat tax!

I genuinely get excited when I see a puppy on the street. The mere fact of its existence just cheers me up. Look at him, walking with his little legs and wagging his little tail. How cute. I could be running late, thinking about work, or mentally going through a never-ending list of things I need to do, but then I spot a tiny dog walking around and everything else stays in the background. I have to stop and admire it. And if the puppy actually comes over to say hello and I can pet him, my day has officially been made.

And this brings me back to the whole good luck thing. I don't think a puppy can magically make all your problems disappear. Believe me, I wish that were possible. I'd be spending my entire day looking for dogs to pet instead of dealing with my responsibilities. These little encounters remind us that even an ordinary day can have something wonderful waiting around the corner.
We're always hoping for something big to happen. A promotion, an exciting opportunity, or some unexpected good news. Those things are great, of course. But sometimes, the best part of my day is something as simple as getting to pet a friendly dog for thirty seconds. That's my version of a lucky charm. Not something that changes what happens next, but something that changes how I feel about the day I'm having.

So, to answer my original question, I don't know if good luck charms really work. But I'm convinced that a little puppy affection can make almost any day better. And since I can't deliver a puppy to everyone's doorstep, I've gathered the most adorable puppies to spread positive vibes and wish everyone a wonderful day. Consider this your little dose of good fortune today!
